            SUMMARY: May that Lord who appeared from out of a pillar in the house of Hiranyakashipu appear in physical form in front of me, who is reminiscent of a pillar. May Lord Narasihma, who is on the banks of Bhavanashini River, which means the destroyer of worldly bondage (family bondage), destroy the worldly bondage from me! May that Lord Narasihma, who protects infant Prahlada, protect me from my childish attitude! May Lord Narasihma, who killed demon Hiranyakashipu, being the beloved of compassionate devotees, kill the clusters of wicked people!

In this stanza, Sri Vadirajaru is appealing to Lord Narasihma to appear in front of him like he did owing to the prayers offered by a child called Prahlada. Sri Vadirajaru considers the self as a pillar that has no sense, not sensitive and is non-living. If Lord Narasihma can come out of a non-living pillar, it should not be difficult for the Lord to appear in front of a living devotee, says Sri Vadirajaru. Prahlada was a little child when Lord Narasihma appeared from the pillar. Sri Vadirajaru say is also like a child because, perhaps, he has no knowledge that can make him eligible to see the Lord. Demon Hiranyakashipu and his fellow demons are perhaps within and outside the human beings. Sri Vadirajaru appeals to Sri Narasihma to destroy those demons within the heart and minds of people and outside.

नरसिह्मॊsद्भुतस्तंभसंभूतः स्पष्टयत्ययम्॥६॥

            SUMMARY: Having come out mysteriously and wonderfully out of a pillar, this Lord Narasihma is home for contradictory and absurd ways of manifestation; by being there in all objects, he is making it clear that he is monitor of everything; exhibiting the expansion and contraction qualities, he is making it clear that he is the origin of all attributes; he is justifying his name Narasihma by wearing a lion’s face and a human body.

            Appearance of Lord Narasihma from out of a pillar bears testimony to what Prahlada always told his father that Lord Vishnu is omnipresent. One should have the faith and devotion to see him everywhere. By wearing the combo forms of half lion and half human, Lord Narasihma showed it to the humanity that he is Universal. With the twin forms of lion and man, the Lord has shown to the world that there is duality in everything. Man is distinct from animal and God is distinct from all other beings. No being can submerge or dissolve into the Lord or can become God by any means.
